CINCINNATI (April 18, 2025) – The Christ Hospital has been named to America’s Best Maternity Hospitals List for 2025 by Newsweek. The complete list can be found on Newsweek’s website. The Christ Hospital was one of just 20 hospitals recognized in the state of Ohio.
Newsweek and Statista, one of the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking providers, have partnered for the third time to identify America’s Best Maternity Hospitals in 2025. High-quality maternity care, provided through the entire journey of pregnancy from conception through the birth and then in the postpartum period is key to the long-term health of newborns and women given that maternity care is a major component of a women’s healthcare.
“We are honored to be included on Newsweek’s America’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2025 list for the third year in a row,” said Debbie Hayes, President and CEO of The Christ Hospital Health Network. “When women choose The Christ Hospital Health Network, they know they’ll be in an environment that offers the highest quality of care for their life and the life of their newborn. This recognition is only possible through the dedicated physicians, midwives, advanced practice providers and the entire clinical and support team members that surround each and every patient.”
The ranking is based on three pillars:
•Nationwide Online Survey: Healthcare professionals and hospital managers with knowledge about maternity processes e.g., neonatal and perinatal doctors, nurses and midwives were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the U.S.
•Hospital Quality Metric: Indicators relevant to maternity care were considered.
•Patient Experience Survey: Survey of the overall patient experience in the hospital.
“The Christ Hospital Health Network remains committed to being a leader in exceptional outcomes for parents in the region,” said Leanne Olshavsky, MD, medical director of women’s health at The Christ Hospital Health Network. “Choosing a hospital for the birth of a newborn is personal and this award lets patients know they are at not just one of the best maternity hospitals in Cincinnati but the entire country.”
